AI is rapidly moving from boardroom ambition to frontline reality. In this opening roundtable of our cross-sector series Building AI-Ready Organisations: Trust, Talent, and Transformation, senior leaders will explore what it truly means to be “AI-ready” in practice.

Featuring Ian Oppermann, Commissioner, The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), and Andrew Spiegelman, Head of Data & Analytics, Service NSW, the discussion will go beyond technology to focus on leadership, culture, and trust. Together, participants will examine how organisations can reskill teams, redesign processes, and govern responsibly in an AI-first world.

The roundtable will also explore how AI is reshaping the way organisations interact with customers and stakeholders — shifting from search to conversation, and from brand-led journeys to AI-driven experiences.

This exclusive, off-the-record session will provide a rare opportunity for candid peer discussion on the practical steps and cultural shifts required to unlock AI’s potential, while carefully balancing innovation, risk, trust, and transformation.
